According to Koreaboo, it is common for idols to secretly date by finding places with a low chance of being noticed by fans or the media. In the past, idols would usually go to the Han River at night because there were only a few cars or people passing by there.

This method is difficult to do because fans and the media eventually find out that this spot is an idol's destination area. Currently, idols go to places that are open at night, such as cinemas.

Another place often chosen by idols for secret dates is their cars, as there are not many people who catch them inside. Some idols even date at home if they live alone.

2. Conveying Information Secretly

Idols also date by conveying information secretly. In the past, idols would slip notes containing messages when sharing their CDs.

Nowadays, idols have a more sophisticated way, which is by exchanging DMs on their social media accounts. Sometimes, idols also ask people around them, such as staff members, to provide contact information or leave messages.

3. Meeting on Specific Programs

Idols can also meet each other when they appear on the same program. Idol Star Athletic Championships is a popular place where idols who are dating can steal glances at each other. Idols can also look for contact information of someone they like on this show.

Not to be missed, idols sometimes meet each other when they appear on the same music show. This is possible because there are specific locations where they won't be recognized.
